Nicolas Cage (Mandy) is heading back into horror with Parish, an upcoming action-horror thriller that puts the Oscar-winning actor up against a vicious group of cannibals in the wasteland of a post-nuclear world.

Honestly, this sounds like exactly the kind of Nicolas Cage horror movie we need.

Parish is set 30 years after a nuclear apocalypse, with Cage playing a hardened survivor who has spent decades protecting his isolated compound alongside his highly trained attack dogs.

His survival strategy is simple: never let anyone through the gate.

For 30 years, the rule has kept Parish alive. But everything changes when a desperate woman carrying an infant arrives at his sanctuary.

Forced to choose between protecting himself and showing compassion, Parish opens the gate—and puts everything he has built in danger.

His decision draws the attention of a brutal group of cannibals emerging from the wasteland. With his heavily fortified compound under siege and the ghosts of his past catching up with him, Parish must fight to protect the only family and home he has left.

Adam Sigal (Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose) directs Parish.

Concourse Media is currently launching worldwide pre-sales for the genre project, which is being positioned as a large-scale survival thriller.

“There’s a scale and pedigree to Parish that immediately separates it from the pack,” says Concourse’s Matthew Shreder, who describes the movie as a sophisticated survival thriller designed as a cinematic event for audiences around the world.

Producer Joel Shapiro adds that Sigal has created a world that is “savage, cinematic and incredibly visceral,” while praising Cage’s unpredictability and emotional intensity as a perfect match for the role.
